THE ~PosT-oFFICE MIDDLE.

DEAR LEDGER:
MEXICO, Mo-, Nov. 81 clip the
following from your contemporary:
The effort to have the Democrat
ic City Executive Committee call
a primary in connection with the
prospective change in the post-of-
fee at this place can result in no
good and is liable to preeipitate a
contest of more or less bitterness
among Democrats. * x x
Some of the parties who are the
most active in this matter were
among the first to sign Mr.. Wood
wards petition. The In~telligeaeer
did net fhen and has not since en-
dcrsed any mans application, but
ace hare Uery little respect for the
gielrs or @ishes Of those Democrats
who after voluntarily endorsing one
man undertake to embordss has cdada-
daey by a subtetuge that aeiU deeeire
ueryfem and accomplish nothing.-
Mexico InteltigeRcer.
A long time ago / signed D.. D.
Woodward's petition because l
wanted a Democrat in the post-of-
flee and because | was informed
that Woodward would be appoint
ed at once if he received the proper
endorsements from the people. Is
it proper for a man to secure a pc.
tition for an office and hold the
same for years and then claim that
| the signers are of the same mind
when the surroundings r chang
ed? Different circumstances alter
I cases and different circumstances
exist now. When Woodward's pc
tition was circulated it was not on
ly understood that the change
would be made at once, but every
other Democrat who wanted the
office was placed at the disadvant-
age of not getting a tip to circulate
a petition. There is no doubt but
that Woodwardis a straight Dem
ocrat, honest and faithful, but is he
the choice of the Democrats who
patronize the Mexico post-office? I
signed his petition because | pre-
ferred him to a Republican. ]
sign the call to the Democratic
Committee because there are Dem
ocrats whom | prefert to Woodward.
/ see no reason for hot blood OF
harsh language. / presume that
all Democrats, your contemporary
included, are in favor of giving all
Democrats who aspire to this office
a fair chance before the people.
This they have not had. Of course
Col. Hutton will name the post
master. II be is satisfied that
Woodward is the choice, l pre-
sumo he will endorse him. Ifhe is
not, of course all the candidates
will be given a fair chance to test
their strength.
OsEwHo SIGNED BOTH PETITIONS.

DR.. Wells Meeting.

DIR. Wells fourth sermon was
listened to last evening by a full
house. The singing, which is made
a special feature in these services,
was unusually good. 1t may not
be improper to remark here that
DIR. Wells shows a decided prefer
ence for old familiar hymns and
gospel songs. The subject of last
nights discourse, as announced,
was "How may the sinner be justi-
fied?" The Doctors text was
Therefore, being justified by faith,
we have peace with God through
our Lord. Jesus Christ" Rom.
81. the speaker said that all the
particulars of his discourse would
be included under two PROPOSE
lions, viz First, "The only ground
of the sinners justification is the
righteousness of Christ. Second,
"The righteousness of Christ is
imputed to the sinner and received
by faith" Justification" he
said, "is a judicial term and is an
act of the court by which the pris-
oner is looked upon just as ifhe had
not committed any offense. Justi-
fieation does not make a guilty man
innocent, but simply changes his
relation to the law" He explain
ed and emphasized the fact that a
man is justified once for all. Christ's
work of redemption atoned for all
of our sins. MANY confound for
giveness of sins with justification"
In the discussion ofthe second prop
osition the difference between
mere intellectual belief and a saw
ing faith, was clearly demonstrate
ed. The latter he termeda "trust-
ing belief.
pr. Wells is remarkably gifted
in powers ofillustration which, with
his clear logic and frequent use of
scriptural proof, renders his argu-
ments exceedingly forcible. Sub
jeet for tonight 1.-THE gospel offer;
to. whom it is made" All are
invited to be present.

The Anarchists Will Hang.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has denied the writ of error
sought for in the Use of the con-
demned Anarchists in Chicago. 1t
declares the Illinois jury law con-
stitutional. The only thing now
that IAN prevent the execution of
the sentences of death is the pardon
of the Governor. However much
the delays which have interposed
between the bomb-throwers and
their just doom may have been
regretted by those who, mindful of
the slaughtered policemen, desired
the speedy fulilment ofthe law, it
is a satisfaction to know that the
course taken by the prosecution is
verified by every court to which an
appeal could be made.
The effect of the convictions will
be heightened at home and abroad
by this fact. There is no legal
~loophole in this country by which
a plotter against human life can
escape the penalty of his crime on
the ground of being an Anarchist.
That is the principle which it is
important to establish. And in the
present instance it will be widely
advertised and, it is to be hoped,
will have a deterring effect on
foreign Anarchists who are con-
templating making their homes
with us.
Sad as the executions must be,
the bomb as a revolutionary factor
in the attempt to overthrow the
most liberal governmental institu-
tions in the world must be sup
pressed.

Suit has been commenced against
the A. O. U. w. of this State to
force it to come under the laws
relating to regular life insurance
companies. The last General AS
sembly passed a law which was ex-
pressly intended to relieve such
benevolent organizations from the
rigors of the insurance law. The
old life insurance companies, of
course, fight these benevolent as
sociations and would doubtless be
very glad to drive them out of
existence: Organizations like the
Ancient Order United .Workmen,
Catholic Knights of Honor, ETC.,
are secret societies, and there is no
way that the insurance companies
can reach them, especially when it
is the desire of the General As
sembly that they be let alone.
